When a Client Needs a Birth Certificate for a Relative Born in 1945 in Undivided India

 


Getting a birth certificate for someone born in 1945 in undivided India can be nearly impossible due to home births, lack of registration systems, partition-era record loss, and decayed archives. For NRIs needing proof of birth for parents or grandparents, an NABC (Non-Availability of Birth Certificate) becomes the only practical solution.

Case Summary:

An NRI client needed proof of his mother’s birth (born in 1945, rural India). There were no hospital records, no registration, and the location had changed after Partition. Living abroad, he couldn’t visit India — so NRIWAY handled the process end-to-end.

Step-by-Step Process by NRIWAY:

  1. Fact-Finding: Collected all available details, school records, and a notarized affidavit.

  2. Record Search: Filed a request with the Registrar of Births & Deaths to confirm no record existed.

  3. Application Filing: Submitted documents and affidavit for NABC issuance.

  4. Follow-ups: Coordinated with local officials to resolve queries and speed up approval.

  5. Issuance & Delivery: Once verified, the NABC was issued, attested, and securely delivered abroad.

Result:

The client successfully obtained the Non-Availability of Birth Certificate, which enabled him to process immigration, citizenship, and passport updates for his mother — without traveling to India.

Why Choose NRIWAY:

For complex or historical cases, NRIWAY’s professional team manages document retrieval, affidavits, apostille, and attestation — ensuring NRIs get legally valid documents quickly and efficiently.
